Escape Dr. Nefarious' Clutches

Your first objective now that you're free is to escape before Dr. Nefarious can retrieve the memories locked away in Clank's memory banks. You don't want to give him what he wants, so start by racing forward along the hallway that stretches ahead of you.

As you run, panels of the glass will shatter to either side of you and finally below you. Down you'll fall to an area below, landing safely and running forward once more. There's a sharp turn toward the left at the end of the corridor, so follow it in that direction while bearing mostly toward the right to avoid more panels that will shatter along the walkway's other side. The path will again turn sharply toward the left, so continue in that direction and you will notice a path to the right. As you get near, it shatters completely apart as enemies in the distance attack. Keep running and you'll be fine. There are crates along here that you can smash for bolts, or you can draw enemy fire to cause the crates to explode.

(Above Left) Be ready for these glass floors to break as you continue along them. (Above Right) Enemies fire on you as you head past the crates.

When you reach the far left side of this passage, stairs should appear in that direction. There's a holograph just to the right of them, urging you to follow the stairs into some air ducts. You don't really have any choice in the matter, so do as he says. You'll find yourself on a path that snakes its way through a steamy room. There are bolts along it that you can collect.

Once you reach the far side of that passage and step into the new chamber, your first mission within the stage is complete.
